For some unknown reason, her heart was unusually calm, without the slightest trace of fear.
Ning Yan'er didn't see the expected expression on the face she hated so much. She couldn't help but let out a sneering laugh. "Keep pretending, Liu Rumei. This time, no one can save you!"
Before long, she would be buried there, never to see the light of day again. Even Mo Liandi might not recognize or find her body!
"Guards!"
...
In a quaint small courtyard, a figure stood there indifferently.
Mo Litian and Ye Zhe were pushed into it. Only then did the man turn around. Who else could it be but the Marquis of Huaiyuan?
At this moment, the Marquis of Huaiyuan's eyes were full of smiles. He said to the two of them with a smile, "I'm sorry for inviting His Highness the Crown Prince and Guard Ye here abruptly."
Ye Zhe snorted but didn't say a word.
Mo Litian's expression was also very awkward. "What does the Marquis of Huaiyuan mean by this?"
The Marquis of Huaiyuan said with a smile, "I invited His Highness the Crown Prince here abruptly because I want to discuss a deal with you."
Mo Litian raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "What deal?"
Would he be so kind as to let them go?
Ye Zhe also secretly raised his guard. The Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion had reached this stage. How could the Marquis of Huaiyuan be a simple character?
I'm afraid that Mo Litian was involved this time because he broke in abruptly, and it was out of necessity.
The Marquis of Huaiyuan glanced at Ye Zhe beside him indifferently, and the corner of his mouth curled up. "It was really inappropriate to involve His Highness the Crown Prince today. However, I've always been timid. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can let go of today's matter!"
Mo Litian sneered coldly. "Is the Marquis of Huaiyuan planning to let us go?"
Could he really be at ease?
However, the Marquis of Huaiyuan said with a smile, "Your Highness has misunderstood. It's not that I'm letting you two go, but only His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Hearing this, Mo Litian was stunned for a moment. The corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of mockery. "If you let me go, aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word and take revenge?"
The smile on the Marquis of Huaiyuan's face didn't diminish at all. The corner of his mouth curled up. "I believe in His Highness the Crown Prince's character!"
After saying that, he paused for a moment, then winked at the secret guard beside him. The secret guard stepped forward respectfully and placed a dagger in front of Mo Litian. His tone was filled with infinite coldness. "As long as His Highness the Crown Prince helps me kill Guard Ye, you can leave safely."
Mo Litian sneered in his heart. This old bastard was really a cunning fox. In this way, if he went back on his word, I'm afraid the news that Ye Zhe died at his hands would spread soon. Subsequently, the death of Liu Rumei could also be easily pushed onto him.
By then, I'm afraid he would suffer Mo Liandi's crazy revenge!
What a good plan!
Ye Zhe's eyes also suddenly turned cold, but he didn't say a word. He still stood there indifferently, but his heart was extremely worried about Liu Rumei.
That Ning Yan'er was a crazy woman. If the princess fell into her hands, I'm afraid...
"The Marquis of Huaiyuan has a good plan. You want me to take the blame! What if I don't want to?"
The smile on the Marquis of Huaiyuan's face didn't diminish at all. "Your Highness, what are you saying? Your Highness and the Prince of Guoan are already at odds. Being able to get rid of Guard Ye, a great trouble in your heart, Your Highness should be happy!"
These two would eventually face each other. Now that he could get rid of his great trouble in his heart and exchange it for his own life, why not do it?
He believed that Mo Litian was a smart man and knew how to choose!
The risk of killing Mo Litian was too great. If the news leaked out, the entire Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion would be doomed!
It would be better to check and balance each other. That was the best strategy!
But if this Mo Litian didn't know what was good for him, he would never show mercy! He would offer his head as a gift for his surrender!
Mo Litian took in the expression on the Marquis of Huaiyuan's face. His heart was full of mockery. "Does the Marquis of Huaiyuan think that killing me will solve all the problems?"
He, Mo Litian, was indeed no match for Mo Liandi, but he was not a man to be slaughtered!
"I think the Prince of Guoan has already traced this matter back to the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion. If I die, do you really think no one will find out it was you?"
There was never an absolute secret in this world. I'm afraid the Marquis of Huaiyuan was in such a hurry because Mo Liandi had already started to take action.
Thinking of this, Mo Litian couldn't help but let out a bitter smile in his heart. Sure enough, in this world, only Mo Liandi could protect her.
"Although I'm in a weak position now, does the Marquis of Huaiyuan really think I have no trump cards? Do you really think you can kill me?"
These cold words slowly came out of Mo Litian's mouth, carrying a frightening aura.
The Marquis of Huaiyuan was also extremely panicked in his heart. How could he not know that killing Mo Litian was the worst strategy, but now...
"Your Highness is joking. Your Highness should also understand that I have no other choice now."
At this point, it was either you die or I die. He would never let the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion decline in his hands.
"Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Highness. I can send you back to the palace."
Mo Litian curled his lips and smiled. "I hate threats the most. If the Marquis of Huaiyuan thinks he can hide it from them, then do it. If you're a step too late, I'm afraid it will be the entire Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion that will perish."
He also understood Ning Yan'er's thoughts. A woman with an ugly heart could never be compared to Miss Liu. Marrying Mo Liandi was just her wishful thinking.
The Marquis of Huaiyuan was used to being a fence-sitter. He thought he could ensure the long-term prosperity of the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion, but in the end, he just made the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion stand still!
Now, for the sake of Ning Yan'er, he even completely destroyed the entire Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion!
"Marquis of Huaiyuan, how about this? I also want to make a deal with you."
The Marquis of Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows and was inexplicably on guard. "What deal?"
Could it be that Mo Litian was trying to win over his Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion?
Yes, the Queen Qi was suddenly demoted to the Cold Palace. I'm afraid Mo Liandi must have had a hand in it. It was natural that Mo Litian was not willing to admit defeat.
However, he still had to weigh carefully between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of Guoan.
One was the legitimate heir. Although protected by the emperor, he was now in a weak position. The other was not in a proper position but was in a high position and had great power. It was really hard to choose.
Mo Litian took in the doubt on his face. His eyes were full of mockery, but a gentle smile appeared on his face. "After all, it was the Princess of Anning who offended me, not the Marquis of Huaiyuan. I don't want to fall out with the Marquis of Huaiyuan either. Hand over the Princess of Anning and Miss Liu to me. I can let go of the past and guarantee that I won't cause any trouble for the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion."
The Marquis of Huaiyuan stood up abruptly and said coldly, "Impossible!"
